Daily life of an American TV drama agent

A week after Leonard's wedding, Ron returned to leading a peaceful life.

"They are selling small cakes, small cakes! Please, buy a small cake!" Like a little match girl, Caroline leaned half of her body out of the window and shouted desperately.

Across the street, the green garbage can squeaked and swayed for a long time before finally stopping, and two heads poked out of the garbage opening.

"What's Carolyn trying to do this time? Aren't you already working in that high-end dessert shop again? Why does she still look so short of money?"

"Who asked Caroline to drive her own car to take some business courses? Not to mention paying the course fee of five thousand US dollars, she also crashed her car when she drove her own car to go to class. But thanks to her, I can finally You know how much it costs to repair a Maserati.”

A top student who graduated from the Wharton School of Business paid $5,000 to attend business courses from a self-proclaimed successful person. For this reason alone, Ron felt that Caroline's learning was in vain.

You know, Caroline's father, Mr. Chan Ning, is a master of successful studies, but Caroline still has to find others to learn from. This is not just playing hide and seek in her own home and getting lost. It is extremely embarrassing.

"Okay, there's nothing we can do~"

Although Toretto's car repair shop can repair anything, given the importance Caroline attaches to the car, she will never allow any non-original parts to be installed on the car, even if this new part has a better effect on improving performance. .

In fact, Ron had suggested modifications to Caroline even before she decided to keep the car.

You know, not everyone can have the privilege of having a master like Toretto perform modifications himself, but Caroline still refused because he wanted to maintain the original appearance of the car itself.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this desire of women that ordinary parts of sports cars like Maserati are sold just like ordinary cars, but all parts related to the appearance are sold at sky-high prices.

"Maybe you can comfort her," Max said, shouting to the store opposite: "Caroline, I feel so good, do you want to come over and relax?"

"Hey! My bank card balance is zero now. How can I be like you and not feel nervous at all?" Caroline saw passers-by anxiously continuing to sell: "Cupcakes! Come buy a cupcake!"

But she still continued to be ridiculed by Max: "You look more desperate now than Justin Bieber in the CK commercial who got his balls caught."

"Why don't you think about why I am so desperate?" Caroline said angrily: "We still owe bank loans. The number of loans will become more and more, and then we will close down."

"Cupcakes, sell cupcakes!" After hearing the current bleak financial situation, even a neurotic man like Max couldn't help but hurriedly put on his clothes and prepared to go out to help. Ron could only follow helplessly. go out.

"Actually, you don't have to be so nervous at all. In the worst case scenario, you still have me, right?"

"Yes, we have Ron, he will definitely help us, right?" Max gently put his hand on Ron's chest and winked seductively.

"Max, we can't always rely on Ron, we have to support ourselves!" After scolding Max, Caroline smiled apologetically at Ron: "Thank you for your kindness, Ron, you have helped us too much, I really I don’t want to spend your money anymore, otherwise I’ll feel like I’m no different from those women who trade their bodies for money.”

"No, no, no, you made a mistake. I didn't say I would continue to give you money, but I brought you some relatively good orders. As for whether you can grasp it? It depends on you."

"Order?!" Max's eyes lit up: "Then why didn't you say it just now?"

"You can't blame me, you are so beautiful." Ron patted Max's butt and said seriously: "Seriously, if you do it well this time, maybe you can use the words poverty and bankruptcy in the future. Farewell."

"Really? How big an order is this?" When Caroline spoke, her breathing became faster.

"For the Tesla factory in Los Angeles, is this order big enough?"

Tesla's Los Angeles factory is one of Tesla's largest factories in the United States. There are almost more than 3,000 employees in the entire factory. The number of afternoon tea snacks needed by so many people is also an astronomical number.

Of course, it is impossible for Musk to replace all the refreshments with small cakes for his employees. This is unrealistic, but there is no problem in replacing some of them. This is also part of the battery cooperation agreement negotiated between Ron and Musk. one of the additional terms.

Yes, the cooperation agreement between Ron and Musk has been negotiated. Musk only obtained the right to use the patent, but paid US$100 million, plus 5% of Tesla's shares.

It was more than half less than the price Ron initially offered, but there was nothing he could do. The reasons for the bargaining given by Musk were also very realistic, which made Ron have to reconsider and give up the idea of ​​opening an electric vehicle company.

"You need to know what your battery technology means for the current energy structure?"

In the office, Musk took a deep puff of his cigar and said in a serious tone: "This means that we have to go to war with almost all car companies, and at the same time we have to go to war with traditional energy companies, including Royal Dutch Shell. , Exxon Mobil, Standard Oil, BP and other super giants, because they all understand that this will be something that changes the times.

Therefore, they will not hesitate to suppress us in any way, including but not limited to: lobbying the White House to formulate new battery standards in the name of safety and limiting our performance to a level that does not pose a threat to them; spreading rumors in the media to discredit new battery standards. Energy, directly and maliciously caused several battery spontaneous combustion accidents.

They even directly sent out killers, posing a threat to the personal safety of me and my family. So, what are you going to choose?

Should I continue to open my own new electric vehicle company and compete with these giants while competing with me? Or should I sell the patent rights, take the money and leave, leaving those big guys to me, and of course the opportunity to make a fortune? give it to me. "

Together, the energy contained by these capital giants can even directly wipe out any small country on the earth.

Although Ron was very strong, he was still not confident enough to feel that he could compete with these capital giants, so he chose the second one.

But Musk is different. What he represents behind him is the capital of the CIA, the capital of the aerospace industry, the capital of the information industry, and the most daunting capital power in the United States: the military-industrial complex.

He has accumulated enough capital to compete with oil and energy interests.

Although the strength of the IRS behind Ron is not too bad, for this kind of fight between gods, I'd better just be a spectator.

"That's great, Max, this time we're really going to get rich!"

Caroline excitedly took Max's hand and jumped up and down. Max shook it off several times with a look of disgust on his face and couldn't get rid of it, so she could only let him continue to pull her.

"Chanel, Hermès, Balenciaga, Gucci...I'm finally coming back!"

Caroline read out a long list of big brands that she was accustomed to in the past, but now are out of reach, like the names of dishes. Only then belatedly did she finally remember who was responsible for all of this. He jumped up and kissed Ron hard on the face.

"Thank you, Ron, thank you so much!"

"Don't be too quick to thank me. Whether this thing can be successful or not? It mainly depends on you and Max. I advise you not to be happy too early."

Although it was actually a done deal, Luo An didn't want Caroline to miss out on this big order because she got carried away and ignored quality issues.

"Someone in the Tesla factory has eaten your little cakes, and they thought they were very good, so they agreed to this proposal. Therefore, the key to making this order successful is to continue to maintain your original taste. Don't make it in a hurry. decline in quality."

"I know," Caroline buried her head in Ron's arms and murmured while holding Max with her other hand: "If it weren't for you and Max, I might be living on the street now, nothing, or give up my self-esteem. , selling my body for money like a low-rent street girl, I don’t even know how to thank you.”

"I don't want your thanks. I just want you to move out of my apartment quickly, or take me to live in your big villa with an independent swimming pool." Max said duplicitously.

But Ron grabbed the buttocks of the two big beauties hard, and laughed when the two women exclaimed: "You know how to thank me..."

After a sleepless night, Ron worked until dawn before falling asleep due to exhaustion. Then he slept until noon and worked until the afternoon before dragging his groggy body back to the office.

The members of the Special Operations Team have long been accustomed to their boss being late and leaving early every day. In fact, they themselves often do the same, and Ron is very lax about it. Except for Andy occasionally saying a few words to make things better for two days, most of them Part of the time it’s like herding sheep.

In Ron's own words: "As long as the work is done, it doesn't matter even if you don't come to clock in. What I want is someone who can really help me work, not a salary thief who just dangles it in front of my eyes every day."

Of course, there is one exception among these members, and that is Chris, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder. No matter what the circumstances, he insists on getting off work on time every day, as precise as a clock.

"You're finally here. I need to report something to you, boss." Ron just sat down on the desk, and before he could warm up the stool, Andy walked in with a document.

"I have long said that you don't need to ask me about anything you can decide. You just need to explain what you did in the daily report. Don't worry, I will definitely read it. If I find anything inappropriate, I will also It will be stopped immediately."

Ron half-supported his head with his arms. She just wanted to send Andy away quickly and sleep for a while until she got off work.

He can still fight tonight!

But unfortunately, Andy didn't give her this chance: "I advise you to take a look, otherwise, you won't even know how you lost the money."

"What? My money is gone? Who did it? So bold? Don't you know that Los Angeles is my territory?!" Ron suddenly became energetic when he heard that the matter was related to money.

"One of the security companies we invested in, you may remember, is mainly engaged in the business of helping banks escort banknotes," Andy opened the file and pointed to the information above. We were robbed, and no one in the underworld paid us the crime tax for the amount of the robbery. The company's losses, plus the taxes we didn't receive, made us lose twice, inside and outside."

After spending time with Ron, Andy also learned his special way of settling accounts: "I think you should find a way to solve this matter."

Ron nodded: "What you said makes sense. Otherwise, if we continue to lose money at this rate, we won't be able to pay wages in 300 years."

Andy secretly rolled his eyes. Not to mention 300 years, three years later, whether he will still be alive or not is a question. Who will care about his salary at that time?

But he didn't complain about this problem. It's a good sign that his boss is actively doing things: "So, how are you going to deal with it?"

"In general robberies, even if they are committed multiple times by the same gang, there will be subtle differences in the operations due to traffic, weather and other objective reasons, but if you look at these cases."

Ron arranged the case information in a row and laid it in front of Andy: "Not only did they shorten the time to less than two minutes each time, the process and even the content of the shouts to the escorts were exactly the same. However, what surprised me the most What's more important is their precise grasp of the time of the robbery. If there wasn't a mole involved, they wouldn't be able to do this."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Arthur, Hank, come on." Ron did not directly answer Andy's words, but called his two men loudly.

"What's the matter, boss?"

"Look at these," Ron pointed to the information on the table: "It's probably because we haven't taken any action for too long. There are people in Los Angeles who are trying to make trouble and start not paying attention to our IRS. I need you to take some action. Let me tell you your plan."

Hank is a policeman and has a natural habit of handling cases: "I think we can start with the circulation of banknotes and look for these banknotes in the market. Once we find the numbers of these banknotes, we can immediately trace the source."

"No, it's too slow, and the money may not be consumed locally in Los Angeles, or even in the United States."

The U.S. dollar is the world's currency. Even drug traffickers in South America prefer to use U.S. dollars for cash transactions. From this perspective, there is no way to check.

Ron shook his head: "Arthur, what do you think?"
